I’m not really sure where to begin on this one other than to say that I’m appalled that these are the kind of people that are allowed to have a public voice in our country. First of all, she states 2/3 of Americans as being overweight, when in reality the number is actually 33% (which, granted, is still high). But let’s just assume that this is a gross over-exaggeration or a misrepresentation of fact and was not intentional. The concerning part of this, for me, is that we have reached such a level of bipartisan hatred and tension that people are going so far as to say that “party X is full of fat people, therefore the people of party Y have to pay for them to have a limb removed because they’re so fat.” Also, the implication that to eat a donut makes a person so severely overweight that they lose limbs is preposterous in itself. Sorry ma’am, but I like my donuts and my soda, but I’d be willing to be my BMI is still lower than yours. (Also, for the record, I am neither a Republican or a Democrat and find the two parties equally repulsive).
